A magnificent place to relax with the opportunity to explore the Dordogne, the Charente, and the Bordeaux region. Château Le Mas de Montet, a beautifully restored Renaissance château. Président François Mitterrand - a regular guest.
Sumptuously appointed with period furnishings throughout, the privately owned Château provides elegant luxury, comfort and complete relaxation. Château Le Mas de Montet is set in 130 acres of parkland and ancient woodland, bordered by the River Dronne. This is where the Périgord Vert and the South Charente meet, a delightful blend of rolling hills, forest and waterways. Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, one of 'Les Plus Beaux Villages de la France', is just five minutes away. A magnificent place to relax with the opportunity to explore the Dordogne, the Charente, and the Bordeaux region.
Your stay is complemented by a choice of a wide range of dermalogica treatments, massages and revitalising techniques.
The castle has undergone 3 years of renovation works to be brought up to date and offer even more modern bathrooms.
The stylish decor is made up of a unique collection of objets d’art and furniture, and each room has its own character and style. The curtains and bed-hangings are made using fabrics from fabric traders like Osborne & Little, Zoffany, Titley & Marr and Sanderson.
